Patience

This is a really odd find: apparently bunnies invented Solitaire (or Patience if you prefer, whatever). I'm not kidding. If you go on Wikipedia you'll see that its origins are supposed to be either Scandinavian or German, but my sources tell me that the game is actually the work of the imagination of very, very, terribly and desperatly bored french bunnies. You know, french bunnies, the ones with the extra long and fancy mustaches.

According to the Great Bunny Archives of Gaule, many and many years ago there was not terribly much to do for young bunnies in European forests. They'd spend most of the day learning traditional bunny trades (being fluffy, baking, sculpting and masonry). At night there was nothing much for them to do, but since they had lamps they thought they could kill some time reading... Unfortunately full books were expensive back them. Luckly a very much not-memorable Bunny whose name I forget one day found a deck of cards near a trail, presumably lost by some traveller. There you have it, bunnies now had access to card games!

Of course, bunnies had no idea of how to play black jack, poker or anything worth your while. Soon they lost interest in that useless pile of cards since it had no use for them - or so they thought at the time. That same Bunny whose name I can't recall and who obviously also didn't have any friends (he didn't shower often, which is something french bunnies could get away with but this dude was also allergic do perfume... so you can see the issue there) was the only one who insisted in coming up with a use for the deck of cards. After all, he did have his own lamp and lots of spare time in the evenings. So after spending long nights staring at the cards, shuffling them, trying to come up with anything, the best that he could do was to come up with Patience. Really. He was defective.

This particular bunny didn't make any friends because of that game as it did not catch on at the time with the young crowd, but old secretary Bunnies mildly enjoyed it and started playing it regularly instead of doing their job.

That tradition was carried on over the years, specially since Microsoft saw the time wasting potential and made the game extra-popular with the soon-to-be-fired masses.
